Ingrid Gaup (right) attended boarding school in Sweden before marrying and
moving to Norway. She follows the Sami tradition of making some household
items herself. She collects "shoe grass" in river marshes, dries and braids it,
then shapes it to fit inside winter boots. "It traps warm air and absorbs moisture
much better than modern insulation," says Ingrid.
